G1028/G1029 Dust Collector -13 SECTION 6: OPERATIONS Test Run Please review the safety rules if you are not sure about the risks associated with operating this machine. Turn on the power supply at the main panel if not already on. Flip toggle switch on and be ready to switch off just in case there is a problem. The dust collector should run smoothly and be free of vibration or rubbing noises. Unusual or strange sounds or symptoms must be investigated and the problem corrected before proceeding further. WARNING: Make sure the G1028/G1029 is unplugged and moving parts have come to a complete stop before investigating any problems or performing any maintenance or adjustments. If everything is running smoothly, perform a test of the dust collector. Ensure that the collector picks up sawdust freely and easily. If it does not, review the assembly process and your duct system. Set Up The G1028/G1029 dust collectors can be either operated as mobile or stationary units. There are advantages and disadvantages to both systems. The primary advantage of a mobile system is low expense of ducts and fittings. On the other hand a stationary system is more versatile and convenient. There are some basic considerations for each method. In light of all the health concerns related to airborne dust, proper setup and installation cannot be overlooked. You may wish to locate your dust collector away from the work area in an adjacent room or closet. If you do locate the dust collector in an adjacent room by running a duct through the wall, be sure there are no open flames and/or gas appliances with pilot lights. There is a risk of explosion if dust is dispersed into the air. You must also ensure that the volume of air entering the room or closet is properly vented back into the workshop. IMPORTANT: The maximum size and extent of any particular stationary system is limited and dependent upon the size and power of the dust collector. Therefore, the G1029 is capable of supporting significantly larger systems than is the G1028. WARNING: Ensure that all duct work is grounded to discharge the build-up of static electricity, particularly if using a plastic duct system. See System Grounding, page 16. -14-G1028/G1029 Dust Collector Mobile Stationary For mobility, the G1028/G1029 is mounted on casters and can be moved within close proximity to one or two woodworking machines, depending on the model. You will need a flexible duct to connect each machine with a collection hood. If you wish to specifically direct air flow while the dust collector is attached to more than one machine, you will need to add a blast gate for each machine. When moving the dust collector around the shop, you must consider clearances between obstacles and accessibility to convenient electrical outlets. A heavy-duty extension cord may be used if an outlet is not convenient. The G1028/G1029 can be set up as a stationary unit with the addition of a fixed duct system to service more than one machine at a time. The primary advantage of a stationary system is it eliminates the process of disconnecting and moving the dust collector, hoses and cords, and eliminates hoses and cords laying on the floor. Another advantage of a stationary system is it allows the dust collector to be located away from the work area, reducing noise and freeing up valuable workshop space. Grizzly offers a complete line of dust collection accessories for setting up a stationary system. Additionally, Grizzly offers a complete guide book for setting up stationary dust collection systems. Please refer to our current catalog for pricing and ordering information. A stationary system configuration usually has a main duct with smaller ducts branching to each machine. The main duct should be located out of the way of normal operations and be accessible for the branch ducts. Branch ducts are permanently attached to each machine by way of collection hoods. Air flow is controlled by blast gates located in the branch ducts and near each machine. Remote switches, available from electrical supply stores, can be added to make the system even more convenient. To design a stationary system, you must consider many interrelated fact...
